More Than A Few Miles

We had 5 PAX, 5 Rucks and 4 Sandbags (allowed for 1 man to rotate in/out).
WARMUP: Not really.
THE THANG: Transport all the gear to the circle in the NE corner of Kingsley. Rucks only – lunge walk around the circle.
Transport all gear to the traffic light to our east for 10 lifts with either Ruck & Sandbag or Ruck-Only.
Shuffle with all gear back to the circle and regroup.
Ruck with all gear to the SE corner of the big parking on the other end of Kingsley.
Rucks only, 5 Man Makers and 10 LBC’s in each corner while shuffling between corners.
This is where the modification entered as I was losing track of time so we had to fast-forward through some of the Weinke.
All gear to the “stage” next to Carolina Ale House.
With all the gear in a pile, each man lined up 2′ apart, facing opposite directions. Starting at one end, we’d pass each coupon from one man to another, utilizing core muscles until all gear was at the other end. We did this several times so every man got to experience the outer and inner posts.
Slick, bear crawl up the 10 steps then jog back to the start and repeat.
Move all gear back to the flag for some rowing.
5 Bent-Over Rows & 5 Upright Rows
Repeat 3 more times.
MARY: Mixed throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: MEMORIAL MURPH and other things.
COT: 5th Core Principle
